Inspiration Of What I could Do Using Python Turtle With More Practice

Even though I did not get to do a final finished product that does not mean that I will not continue learning to code. I most willingly will continue to practice and learn new things, as I really enjoyed coding. I really like the art side of coding which is why I started to learn Python Turtle, as it uses code to create drawings. The video above is an amazing piece of code that took 10 hours to be written. I will continue to challenge myself and set a goal of me being able to a similar piece of coding during the next 2 months!

Manipulating Existing Code To Create A Circle Shape In Turtle

I used an existing code to create the shape of a circle as I could not find straight forward instructions on how to write the code myself. Therefor, I manipulated the existing code by changing the numbers, which are the coordinates of x and y. This however did not end successful, as the line stopped halfway the circle shape.

This is the code that I changed hoping that it would create a different measurement circle shape, however it did not work!

I still have not figured out why it did not work but I will still try to find out, as I want to understand coding as best as I can. 

Coding A Circle Shape With Python Turtle

I now know how to draw straight lines in Python Turtle. I wanted to challenge myself to see if I could  figure out how to draw curved lines and circle shapes. I could not find clear instructions about how to do what I wanted, so I cheated a little and found and existing code that creates a circle. 

Down below is a screenshot of the code I entered and of the circle that it coded.

Douglas Rushkoff "Program Or Be Programmed"

Down below is the cover of the book Douglas Rushkoff wrote "Program Or Be Programmed: Ten Commands For A Digital Age". 

In this book Rushkoff explores how the modern day technology and programming is affecting and victimising people. He strongly encourages people to learn how technology operates otherwise we are being controlled by it and we do not even know about it.

Research: Coding Languages

I decided to explore the concept and functions of computer coding. My challenge and aim is to try and teach myself to understand the very basics of codes and their functions.

Starting my research, I found out that there are multiple coding languages. Coding languages are similar to spoken languages, as they both share many characteristics. They can all create the same functionality, just like how spoken languages can all express the same phrases.

I decided to learn how to use coding language Python because from my research I found out that it is the easiest coding language to learn.
